Individual liberty cannot be preserved if the majority’s will must always triumph

I wonder how many Freepers really understand this statement. I suspect most of the most fevered for the fight do not really want to consider what this statement actually means. You are all going to find out that no one is a 100%er.

That is why we have a CONSTITRUTIONAL REPUBLIC ( where the minority's rights can't be usurped by a majority vote ) not a DEMOCRACY
